    Study Notes

    Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

    • Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings.
    • Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings.

    Exothermic Reactions

    • Chemical changes:
      • Combustion: CH4(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
      • Neutralization: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
    • Physical changes:
      • Freezing: H2O(l) → H2O(s)
      • Condensation: H2O(g) → H2O(l)
      • Deposition: H2O(g) → H2O(s)

    Endothermic Reactions

    • Chemical changes:
      • Photosynthesis: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) → C6H12O6(s) + O2(g)
      • Thermal decomposition: CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
    • Physical changes:
      • Melting: H2O(s) → H2O(l)
      • Evaporation/boiling: H2O(l) → H2O(g)
      • Sublimation: H2O(s) → H2O(g)

    Reaction Systems and Surroundings

    • In chemical reactions, the temperature measured is often that of the surroundings.
    • The system consists of the reactants, while the surroundings include the solvent and everything around the reaction site.

    Energy Transfer

    • In exothermic reactions, energy is released as heat, increasing the kinetic energy of the surrounding molecules and the temperature.
    • In endothermic reactions, energy is absorbed from the surroundings, decreasing the kinetic energy of the surrounding molecules and the temperature.
    • Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in chemical bonds.
    • Exothermic reactions release energy, resulting in lower potential energy in the products.
    • Endothermic reactions absorb energy, resulting in lower potential energy in the reactants.
